I got this bottle of Italian ink when I purchased my Delta the Journal fountain pen in Florence from Casa Stillografica. It was part of bundle with the pen. The tiny bottle of Delta Black looked a lot like a tiny bottle of Pelikan ink. But this is definitely not a bottle of Pelikan ink. Delta Black is a relatively lubricated ink, though with great dry time. In finer nibs it is a relatively dark ink but on nibs that are wider you can definitely see some shading in the ink. This is an interesting black though not widely known of.
